In 2003 he won the World Junior Chess Championship. He repeated his victory in 2005 (thus becoming the only two-time champion), achieving an incredible 2953 performance rating after eight rounds.[2] This gained him an invitation to the Essent Tournament 2006 in Hoogeveen, and by winning this one and also the 2007 edition, Shakhriyar achieved world fame.[1]

In 2005 Mamedyarov competed at European Club Cup and had the second highest performance rating (2913) among all of the participants (Vassily Ivanchuk had the highest).

IM Goran Antunac has commented that Mamedyarov is a true virtuoso at handling the pieces, always finding the best squares for them.[2]

Mamedyarov attained joint first place in Aeroflot Open in Moscow in February 2006, with a score of 6½/9. In October 2006, he won the closed Essent Chess Tournament in Hoogeveen with 4½ of six games, beating Judit Polgár on Sonneborn-Berger.[3]

In the Chess World Cup 2007 Mamedyarov advanced to the third round where he was knocked out by Ivan Cheparinov.

He also become best individual player at the World Team Chess Championships 2009.[4]

In May 2011, Mammadyarov was tournament organisers' nominee, qualifying him for the Candidates tournament for the World Chess Championship 2012.[7] However, he lost to Boris Gelfand in the quarterfinal of the competition.[8]

Controversy

Mamedyarov caused controversy during the Aeroflot Open Tournament that took place in Moscow between 17 and 26 February 2009. After losing to lower-rated Igor Kurnosov in 21 moves, the Azeri voiced suspicions of cheating behaviour on the part of his Russian opponent, citing Kurnosov's wanderings outside the playing hall after each move, the refusal to agree to a draw on move 14, and the unusually strong moves for a 2600+ GM. The arbiters were unable to discover any evidence implicating Kurnosov and Mamedyarov withdrew from the tournament in protest.[12][13]

His personal trainer is his father, who is a former boxer. Shakhriyar has two sisters, Zeinab Mamedyarova and Turkan Mamedyarova, who are also Woman Grandmasters.[14]
